Witches of American Horror Story

I am a big fan of the show American Horror Story, they do a really good job of making the monsters that appear on the show seem as if they are real. Season three of the show was called Coven and focused mainly on witches of course. The show depicts the witches living together in a school in modern times. Part of what the narrative of the story relies on, however, is the historical representation of the witch and how that is effecting the modern witches in the show. The witches look at the Salem trials as the genocide of their people and because of this they choose to hide themselves from the rest of the world. This is counter to the idea that was discussed in class that witches were proud to make claims such as sleeping with the devil or their fantastic powers. One thing from the reading that does kind of appear in the show is the sexual deviancy aspect of these girls. Not all of them are like that but there are some interesting scenes in the show in which a witch is having sex with a dead man. Not to mention the fact that one of the witches special powers is that she kills anyone that she sleeps with. This seems to be an indication that despite the witches desire to hide themselves away from our modern world, they still can not change who and what they are.
